Hi LOVEs!!!!
I am deeply sorry for being MIA for such a long time... My laptop was suddenly out of control, but I was finally able to upgrade to MacBook Pro with Retina Display! OMG! I love it to death! <3 I am also really happy to be finally back here!!!!

Lately, the Seattle weather has been amazingly beautiful and I can't help but enjoy it! I bet it makes everyone here so happy and smiling! Almost as if I anticipated the shift toward sunny weather, I was prepared to enjoy it by getting my hands on this fabulous sundress from RVCA! I am digging the tribal vibes this summer, one of the huge trends. This maxi sundress has marvelous exotic textiles! Since I am petite, I always have a difficult time to find a maxi dress that does not make me look short. So, when I ran into this dress at the ZEBRA Club, I strongly felt a bond with it. The ruffled neckline helps me cover my long torso, and the flowing bottoms give a playful look that makes me dance with the wind :) I also love how it looks from behind. I think this is the best sundress I've ever owned! The only thing I am not pleased about this dress is.... I have to wear platform heels to avoid walking with the dress trailing. But I will definitely wear this dress over the summer, and it will be on heavy rotation! I would like to go on a date with this dress and then want to go to a beach and walk with my date along the sea shore! That would be fun and romantic, wouldn't it?

To keep the tribal theme going, I accessorized myself with tribal-inspired pieces. The beaded strap necklace with a wood pendant gifted from my best friend is nicely harmonized with the dress. The flower hair corsage in my lightly curled hair with a half updo adds an extra feminine touch. Now if your hair style looks a bit lonely for spring and summer, I recommend to wear some cute hair accessories, like I did. A tiny detail sometimes changes the whole look completely.
I always love wearing stacked bracelets. I can do mix and match with whatever I adore but never look 'overdone' or 'over accessorized.' If you don't know how to do it or aren't bold enough to try this awesome 'armparty' method, I found a great article that is worth reading and gets you try it out!!

How's your week been going? :) Today, we have gloomy and cold weather in Seattle. Sad, right? How about in your area? If the weather is sunny unlike here, I am so jealous, but if it is just as bad as here, I hope I can bring some brightness from today's post!

If you follow my blog and my Insta (@aikaslovecloset, if not please follow me for the daily updates!), you may remember that I hosted a trunk show at SEE Eyewear in Downtown about a month ago. It was very fun and I was very happy it was successful, considering it was my first EVER event! So I decided to treat myself a little bit and went for shopping with one of my besties! On our last destination, we stopped by ZARA, and we hunted a few great pieces, which I am wearing on today's post! He found these gorgeous and super fashion-forward matching set (get yours! TOP & SKIRT) while I was trying others on. He has a quite good eye, doesn't he? :)
It didn't take even a few second to fall in love with them! My love of matching sets is definitely growing, and they are just so fa-bu-lous!!!!! The crisp and fresh color of blue and white totally wowed me, and they're STRIPES! The print is so playful and never goes out of fashion! What I love the most about these pieces is how the top is simple in front but the back has an interesting yet lovely look because of the zip and twin folds. On top of that, the skirt blew me away with the overlaid design, having a different style in front and back! What a fun matching set! They of course will look good separately in other looks! I can't wait to try them in a different ensemble!

I styled them with white pointy heels to keep with the same hues and to add extra crispness. The colors blue and white represent the wide blue sky, unfurled white sails, and the azure sea, and I already have a breathtaking statement necklace that rides the oceanic theme. Then, I like the earrings give a touch of antique-look.
At the first attempt assembling this look, I paired with a black bag. However, we have to change ourselves to ditch a dark color and incorporate more brighter shades into our outfits! I decided to switch the black bag to the two-tone bag with a vivid green! Challenge succeeded! :)

Do you like these lovely striped matching set as much as I do? How would you style them?
I hope your Friday finishes amazingly and launches you into a fabulous weekend! ♥ _____________________________
